Parker, AZ (February 14, 2019) – Robin Martinez Jr. always knew that he wanted to attend college, but as a first-generation student, higher education seemed more like a distant dream than an attainable goal.
That all changed when he became a part of the Arizona Western College Upward Bound program as a freshman at Parker High School.
“Being a first-generation student, I had no one to guide me along the winding pathways that lead to college. Upward Bound became that guide for me,” he said.
